Hello. When I edit a file(for example highlighting a line in a PDF), Will Dropbox just upload edit or will it re-upload the whole file?

Hey @parsa pk, thanks for posting your question to the Dropbox Community!

 

Generally, when someone edits a file, Dropbox will save the edit, it won't re-upload the entire file.

 

Of course, when a file is edited, it gets saved as a new version, so if you'd like to go back to a previous version, you can restore one through the version history of the file.

 

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
